Why 80% of Singapore lives in public housing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2020
- Public housing usually has a negative connotation, but after Lee Kuan Yew and the Housing Development Board set out to change that, Singapore's public housing has gone from slums to skyrises. Since it was created, the Housing Development Board (HDB) has transformed how public housing works in Singapore for millions, but it also came with harsh quotas and rules that make you wonder, is it worth it?

Hi, just wanna say thank you for having the interest to make this, as local Singaporean I wanna nick-pick the mistake at 6:23 - Do not that there is a difference between the race ‘Malay’ and the nationality ‘Malaysian’. They don’t mean the same. For example, you can have a ‘Malay’ Singaporean & ‘Malay’ Malaysian.
I was unaware of this disparity. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention!
@@sparkpass
Malay is race. Malaysian is citizenship. Malay don't equal to muslim(religion) even tho alot conservatives would say otherwise.
Just like don't mistaken Chinese to mean Chinese nationals. Chinese is a race, while Chinese nationals are those from China. So in the world, there are Singaporean Chinese, Taiwanese Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, Thai Chinese, Indonesian Chinese, Vietnamese Chinese, American Chinese, etc.
BTW, all these Chinese don't look the same, and the can be distinguished easily by their look or language accents.
The world would be wise to learn from Singapore's approach to public housing.
Without public housing scheme , many homelessness will prevail since unaffordability will be wide spread.
Really interesting to hear about the 99 year leases!
Your super underrated, like why do you have only 100 views a video????. This is amazing!
Amazing video - great content throughout. Keep up the good work!
Your content is great!!!!
I love your style, and your research!!!
You deserve millions of subscribers!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
this channels going to grow so fast you won't believe it
Your content is on par with other studios, it's seriously amazing!
No! Singapore joined The Malay States and became part of Malaysia back in 1963.
But was expelled a few years after and became independent.
Imagine actually outliving your 99 year lease and getting thrown out when you're like 120 years old. That would suck.
NYC: I’m extremely overcrowded
Manila: first time?
Using the word slums is not apt. Most of the homes and villages that were resettled were legally owned land in good repair. Of course 78% live in Public Housing, they acquired our freehold and 999 title deeds and gave us 99 year leases. Those villages that were stacked like this are nearer to the city, most of us were farmers with lots of space.
Except for the 'Malaysian' error, I find this the most well-researched and balanced study on Singapore's public housing I have seen on UA-cam.
Not Malaysians, Malays, typo error. Malaysians are not allowed to buy public housing in Singapore and vice-versa. Please rectify this error in your video :)
Good job
2:54 living in a place like that is really depressing no natural lights
I think he's going by average sales prices.
Some comments are stressing on BTO prices.
BTO may be cheaper but majority of of public housing is still from resale market.
And not to mention the wait for the BTO forces the home "owner" to rent for years before moving in. Rental prices are sort of proportionate to resale markets.
In the long term, and based on current market trends, a BTO unit may cost just as much if not more than a resale unit.
The only exception is the Balance flats(units) where the wait is shorter but you trade off choice of floor level/storey, location.
Not to mention that balance flats are even more finite.
Very good video. You need more subscribers
ur channel is mega underrated i'm investing now +500 shares @897 subs
Great video! Their policies for racial harmony sound interesting.

I see people have commented that it's supposed to be "Malay" and not "Malaysians" but I seem so see not change in the description or a correction in a pinned comment, just want to say this as the video might get hate. I am a local Singaporean and this video has been shown to me in school and if it wasn't shown in my country, people will think differently as we already have seen people mistake our country for part of malaysia, you also could be reported for false information.
Most of my angmoh friends wouldn’t accept Malay as a race. Much so as Chinese. To them our race is Asian and we are Singaporeans. Chinese/Indian is a nationality, so is Malaysian. It took them a while to realised that I am not from China and they blamed me for saying I am “Singaporean Chinese” which confuses people and make them think that I am like a dual national. All of them refuse to accept that I am a “Singaporean Chinese”, they say you are Asian, you are Singaporean, you shouldn’t tell people you are Chinese because you are not and all that do is confusing people. Oh wells!
So then what are you supposed to call Chinese and Indians?
Malay people are called Malaysians because that's where most malay came from... I don't really see a problem with it...
@@tristan6509 I have a problem. I'm proud of being called a Singaporean Malay because I am a Malay born in Singapore. To identify me as a Malaysian is factually incorrect.
@@endi4654 Right! Likewise, I cannot call Indonesian born Malay as Malaysians because Malaysian refers to citizenship and not race.
Makes you wonder if Singapore started that fire in the village
Yeah, it definitely does. I hope they didn’t but it would make sense why they would.
@@sparkpass did any people die in the fire?
Fifa Kingz 4 allegedly
Dont be stupid. Ppl died.
And we r not slum before indepence. We r already a bustling trade hub before british colonialisation.
@@dotmerah6713 wow that's a low percent, but no one should have died.
wtf i thought this video would have >1million views until i scrolled to the comments this video is great
If u dont wanna redo, at least update in description.
The malaysian thing is kinda irksome. Our local malay community also have pride of beibg singaporean. Do not disrespect,thanks.
Redo for what? For you ah? Most of my angmoh friends wouldn’t accept Malay as a race. Much so as Chinese. To them our race is Asian and we are Singaporeans. Full stop. I was asked to stop saying I am Chinese because it confuses people to think I am a dual national. At least he tried to say Malaysian!
Hi, at 3:52, there's a graphic box indicating 'CTF', it should be 'CPF', not 'CTF'. CPF stands for Central Provident Fund
Good catch! Thank you for pointing that out!
I live in a nblock
Hey Hawaii politicians, you should watch this video.
Gain independence against its will! Isn’t Malaysia kicking itself now.
That fire sus af lmao
The fire sus asf 😂😂😂
as a Singaporean, the obese japan joke is very funny
Want to know the side effects!? 🤔😁
Rich country but majority people can't afford landed house.
Or rather, can’t even afford private housing. Most still have to depend on Government subsidised housing.
So what?? You don't have a brain to comprehend simple logic????
@@zzy341 then left idiots claim middle class bigger in Singapore that a lie , if you don't own a home you aren't in middle class
@@coopsnz1 what's your definition of owning a home?
@@zzy341 privately owned
WHAT SIDE EFFECTS! HOW COULD YOU END IT LIKE THAT ARGHHHH!
Because there are none, landlords are seething
Communism the government own all land
Quite a bit of mistakes. CPF, not CTF. Malays, not Malaysian (who are citizen of Malaysia). and the chart for the sale price of HDB flats are ridiculously wrong too. You almost triple the cost. For eg, a open market 4 room flat only (meaning its a resale flat) cost around 400 over thousand, not S$1,400,000. and if the flat is new, its even cheaper, around 200 over thousand for 4 room. Suggest more fact research to be conducted if you wish to do a fact video.
Please edit your video and replace the 'Singaporean' and 'Malaysian' part, which is inaccurate. Malaysians can't own public housing in Singapore, as they aren't Singaporeans.
Because of socialism high taxation that why
First
one of the worst review of singapore housing . go stick with your slums.
